mm/slub: initialize the free pointer of the bootstrap kmem_cache_node

With slub_debug=FZPU, validating kmem_cache_node reports

  BUG kmem_cache_node (Not tainted): Freepointer corrupt
  Object 0xffff888000140040 @offset=64 fp=0x5a5a5a5a5a5a5a5a

and taints the kernel. Poisoning places the bootstrap object's free
pointer outside the object, where check_object() checks it even while
allocated.

early_kmem_cache_node_alloc() previously took this object from a
freelist with an initialized pointer. It now takes it from the slab
iterator and builds the freelist only for the remaining objects,
leaving its pointer filled with POISON_INUSE.

Initialize the bootstrap object's free pointer to NULL.

Fixes: dc795d4c0282 ("mm/slub: defer freelist construction until after bulk allocation from a new slab")
